Ron Wright
In the minor leagues, Ron White shaved his forearms after an injury forced him to wear bandages. He hit so well with freshly shaved arms that he continued the practice even after the injuries healed. After eight seasons in the minors, Wright finally earned a look with the Seattle Mariners in 2002. On August 13, he had one of the strangest days ever by a big league hitter, when he grounded out, grounded into a double play, and grounded into a triple play in the same game. Three at-bats, six outs. Wright was shipped back to the minors a few days later and never returned. His arms are still reportedly smooth and kissable.
